Wyman Meinzer is Texas’ last true outdoorsman but he’s impossible to define

Even among his closest friends, you’ll be unlikely to hear the same opinion twice when it comes to describing Texas legend, Wyman Meinzer. To some he’s an uncompromising outdoorsman, to some a backwoods wildman, and to others he’s Jeremiah Johnson in the flesh. Perhaps it is better to describe what Meinzer has done in his life. Raised as cowboy in the Texas Badlands, Wyman was an exceptionally talented trapper and hunter. He became the official photographer for the Lone Star State after years of rejections from wildlife publications. Whether you admire him or you’re afraid of him, Wyman Meinzer commands your respect, if for nothing else than the sheer tonnage of legacy that exists because of his tireless work.
